oh wow I got the depression kinda bad rn huh. Hasn't been like this in maybe uh... 8 plus years.

Does anyone else kind of increasingly feel like you have no idea what is going on or what anyone is talking about?

it's a little bit fucked up but when I eat a potato my body is like so happy. Meat + potatoes also goes very hard.

wow pollievre is an even bigger tool than I had imagined, and I already imagined he was a huge tool.

I'm gonna brag a little that almost all my xmas gifts were local and/or thrifted. It wasn't even that expensive, most gifts were like $15-20. screw the billionaire-run online stores, they can kick rocks. My partner even crocheted the cutest dinosaur sweater for my nephew!

this part of the plot bugs me because I don't think that good fantasy authors dislike their own work? I think they care a lot and work pretty hard to succeed? I feel like this idea of making art is kind of old, no? Like almost no one is making enough money in any art to do it halfheartedly?

What do you do when you really, truly, cannot stand an immediate family member? I'm trying to channel my mother and be a better person here, but I am just really pissed off.

Thinking about this gay thing I did as a kid, I was mad that girls weren't leads in plays so I auditioned as the prince in the grade 6 play. They let me audition but afterwards a teacher took me aside to say you're best for the part, but you can't play opposite a girl because that's inappropriate.

Is it a bit messed up that I never want to leave my neighbourhood after dark in the winter? Like maybe there are wolves in Yorkville.

10 yrs trying to get care for a medical issue. Doc says we don't do those tests, see a naturopath. Naturopath is $500 after insurance. Go to Doc, she'll only prescribe 1 med out of 2. Go to pharmacy - doc has to fill out a special form and I have to pay $500 up front. We need public pharmacare.

I'm done for the year yessss! I worked on a pretty dang successful game update and I'm feeling pretty good about myself! But also exhausted and simultaneously a bit low. Funny combo ngl :)

fossil fuels are a bit messed up.. like how are dead plants and animals from gazillions of years ago charging my vibrator?

Just advised my gf to take the reins in her punk band, remove the bad punk sounds, and add fun sounds instead. She nodded sagely.

I get monster fucking now. Basically women don't feel seen as full people, so they want another not-a-person to commiserate with who is also hot. Hot and understanding. Unfortunately sometimes the monster is just a monster though, and doesn't see women as full people either.

what is the actual reason Ontarians hate colour and fun in their wardrobe... my partner and I are always called out usually positively for wearing colours. But like.. why don't other people if they seem to like it do it for themselves? I know black and grey are practical.. but all the time?

just emailed a clarinet choir to see if they will let me audition after working 12 hours straight on various explosion sfx. Dear god I need to be around people doing things like touching objects, seeing faces (intermittently, not constantly) etc.

my roommate keeps slightly moving my things. I'm concerned about this behaviour.

I don't often fangirl, but Oscar Isaac tho... variety.com/2025/film/ne...

thinking today about the thing ppl say about conservatives, that they have a higher 'disgust response' or whatever.. And 1st of all, fuck you. 2nd of all - I feel disgust. I feel disgust over the abuse and murder and starvation of children and ppl all over the world. Why isn't that disgust relevant?

Have you seen the nyt article: 'should women have jobs?' What galls me the fucking most is that one of these traitors wrote a book called 'the dignity of dependence' All I can say is my entire life it has only been clear that men depend on women, not the other way around. Everyone depends on women.

I can't tell if I just have my period and am getting over 2 vaccines, or if I am actually the worst most loser-y person alive. Hard to tell.

Just asked my gf if I was spending too much on a week vacation we're taking this winter and she said no, I am spending a normal if not less than normal amount. Something about being a millennial maybe makes me feel like both spending AND saving money is a mistake that I will never recover from.

I remember being at NAMM 2017 arguing with software designer guys that AI would be a disaster that would probably harm women, children, poorer ppl the most. Their argument was that as a woman I would benefit because I could do interpersonal irl feelings based work. Hahaha. I dislike being right.

I feel like not a lot of ppl seemed to be that into it when it came out, but I still love the heck out of brand new cherry flavour, just an amazing horror series from 2021.

fascists don't care about irony, satire, moral stance on an aesthetic, so if you are an artist it is a bad idea to ironically create/collage an aesthetic/vision of domination - like star ship troopers etc., and expect fascists to care. They are just horny for the exciting look you created for them.

when someone says something isn't in the budget, they are lying.. ok ok with some exceptions like if you've already spent the money ha, but if it is before you have the money or decided what to do with it, what they are saying is - I don't want to spend $ on that. At your job, politicians, etc.

hmm maybe going through a slight manic episode. The good news - I will make some fun art maybe! the bad news - I will start crying while jogging in a not very quiet way.

Enough with the Tron!

Like I think that's enough actually, and the only way to proceed now is to call a real cab/ride my bike, get my movies at the library/ theatre, buy a magazine/newspaper. I think I've got to become the 1992 version of myself because this is exhausting and awful and I do not wish to go forward, thks.

I uhhh. don't think I get it. Is anybody actively choosing to live in this terrible world these creeps are making? Does anybody really want to use 'friend' or whatever the fuck? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Also in Brazil - the Tuttle character - just a guy who wants to do something well for other people, like teachers, parks workers etc. being criminalized as dissidents. Ya.. worth a rewatch. Also the sets and sound design and props are completely incredible..

just watched Brazil - Terry Gilliam, last night and the parallels to current day US are striking. I don't think they are fascist enough and cruel enough to start charging people for their own kidnappings, torture, and incarceration/deportation just yet.. but who knows!

ai art is so bad.. like honestly there were artists previously who were trying to use it in interesting ways - for example as a way to process and rework their own art - and now it's just like - oh hey here's a cartoon naked lady.

Famine in Gaza is a "choice" made by Israel, says Alex de Waal, author of "Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine."

It's the time of year when I really miss walking along the Rideau & Ottawa river. It is so beautiful there you have no idea. Ontario kind of looks like a greyish brown parking lot covered in wet grey slush that somehow costs 2 million dollars for most of the year, but damn that place is gorgeous.

The Spanish Navy said Wednesday it is sending the warship Furor to protect the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla after activists said drones had attacked their boats near Greece. This comes after Italy earlier committed to sending navy vessels to escort the flotilla.

@erincorbett.bsky.social the slug one

ok so they've pressured Disney to remove Jimmy Kimmel, are they just not smart enough to pressure Disney to take down Andor?

I really hated weapons I think. I think it said nothing except old people with cancer are gross and suspicious possibly? And had a very visceral violent scene of a gay man's skull being bashed in. So that's a no for me buds. I don't think horror has to mean anything, but like ew.

I'm really in love with my new local library, but I cannot understand why the community centres are in constant disrepair and the public programming/ fitness program is run so very poorly, with so few spots available for classes etc. Please stop spending all our money on the police @toronto.ca

Glad to have found a physical copy of this, it's a really compelling and candid interview with Wendy Carlos' about being trans in the 70s, I recommend any trans person to read this and be reminded how for everything that changes, a lot stays the same.

ngl kinda don't at all like how lgbtq friendly travel is usually just code for - this is fun for gay cis men and sometimes maybe lesbians. I mean I get it, they're the ones with money I guess.. but like it's annoying.

best part of the lighthouse was the giant cool mermaid vagina.

Some grifter behaviour: ppl who talk a lot aren't smarter, sometimes they are trying to overwhelm you & reduce your ability to think. Ppl who neg you/ threaten your sense of self worth are not then the only ppl capable of granting it back to you with scraps of attention, affection, etc.

sigh.. what the actual fuck is this : www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I don't care how can someone please get this on his desk before it's too late, get Jamie Clayton as Christine Jorgensen, idk who can be Magnus Hirschfeld. Lewis Black? Idk

There's so many fucking biopics of all the wrong dudes, why are you telling the boring dramatic saga of a famous rock star when you could be casting Danny DeVito as Harry Benjamin, founder of WPATH, in a historical comedy biopic about Sex Change Operations

you know I like my job, but every day I'm a little bit angrier that people I love just wouldn't have to work so much if the EXTREMELY wealthy didn't hoard as much.
